To a deserving father....

I know it's not Fathers Day yet but before I forget, I wanted to blog about my husband (who is an Amazing Dad).  

On May 1st, 2008 you became a Father! 

You brought home a beautiful baby son.

  And, seventeen months later, came your gorgous daughter.

Wasn't easy, but I said, "We aren't done..."

Money's stretched really thin, and you NEVER sleep!

I know right now it's not easy,

But to make things better is to keep

On making us laugh, by being cheezy.

To your son, you are his loving hero.

And to your daughter, her best friend.

One thing is for curtain, you're no zero.

Your children have your love, which won't bend!

Yet you are not only an amazing father

to our children young Matthew and Kylie.

You are a super hero and what other?

A most perfect, outstanding, handsome, strong, prayerful DADDY!

Matthew......His Dad was so proud of him!!!.

 I'm not sure if this video will work because I sent it from my phone. But Matthew is having soooo much fun on this this and he laughed so hard the entire time!!!!

I know I'm a slacker! :)

It's been a couple of months so I have some catching up to do. I had a picture of Kylie at her first gymnasics class but I accidently deleted it (since I'm blogging from my phone, I can't add the pic. back in unless I publish a different post :( ). Anyways, My little Kylie is growing up quite fast, and loves to do thing by herself....

Here she decided to get into to he tub by herself LOL. Another event I failed to blog about is Easter!!! Itwas basically the kids first Easter (where they kind of knew what was going on). Here are some pics....

It was also Matthews 3rd Birthday!!!!. My big handsome boy.:) We had a fun little party with just family (we even Skyped my parents so the could "be" there too). I also made a Thomas the Tank Engine out of cupcakes  for his Birthday cake. Oh, and we also figured out te "potty training" thing.   A LOT more has happened these past two months but I simply do not have time. I hope this is enough for now. :>\ Until next time readers.... Have a good month of June!

Potty training woes and What to do with that hair?

 Sooo, Matthew has been showing ALL the signs that he is ready to potty train. He stays dry through the night and through nap times, he occasionally asks to go on the potty, and he tells me to change his diaper EVERY time he poops and sometimes when right after he pees. So, Yesterday I decided it was time to switch from diapers to pull ups. But, to him, it's just a cool diaper that has buzz lightyear on them. And, when I just gave up and made him go naked all day, he went to the potty EVERY time without fail (that includes pooping), and I didn't have to ask him once! I figured, he pee on the floor once and then I explain to him what to do...no explanation necessary, he figured it out on his own and we were "accident" free all day. So, I thought well maybe he just thinks pull ups are diapers and I should try putting underpants on him....Well that DIDN'T work!!!! I can't just let him run around naked all time can I? How do I get him to go when he has clothes on? Any advise?????.......



Now on to my little princess. Growing up most of you know I was a tomboy and as a result, I never did my hair in any sort of way, except wild and tangled. Well now I have this beautiful girly girl who loves everything, well...girly. She likes me to do her hair "pretty" but All I know how to do is pig tails, pony tails, and I can do a little bit of braiding. What do I do with all that gorgous hair? Does anyone know of any creative way do girls hair? I would LOVE some advise!!!

Meet our soon to be new house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the link....I will try and take pix and blog it later. :) SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!http://denver.okcmetrohomefinder.com/homes/12358461/OK/Moore/805-N-Morgan-Dr-73160/.

Hoping for a better weekend....

With all that's been going on, I forgot to blog about last weekend. Most of you know that Nathan's twin sister and two children were in a bad car accident while they were visiting in Oklahoma from Nebraska. For those of you who don't know, she and the kids miraculously walked away from a TERRIBLE crash. Her car lost control on a dirt road, flipped over, and as she tried to free herself and her children, the car was on fire (something you only hear/see on movies). Luckily the worst injury out of all of them was her son having a jammed thumb. But, after that (which was on a friday), our weekend kind of got worse. You see, a few weeks ago I purchased some tickets to go to the circus (none of us have ever been). We were going to go last Saturday afternoon. But we were in Stillwater visiting Nathans family after that aweful event friday evening. So we didn't leave Stillwater until 10 min. before 1:00. Which meant we didn't get into the City until 2:00 (which is when one of the three shows on Sat. started). I didn't care about being a few minutes late. But, Nathan is all about punctuallity so he wanted to go at the 7:30 pm show. The only problem with that is it's 30 min. before the kids bedtime. Soooo, we went. Here are some pix of the elephants.......

 About 10 minutes after arriving, both children were SUPER cranky and as a result so were Nathan and I. After being there 30 minutes he wanted to leave. But I wasn't about waste $20.00 for 30 minutes of whining children (that includes Nathan LOL). So we stayed the ENTIRE 2 1/2 hours!!!! And I enjoyed almost the entire thing. The kids finally stopped whining towards the end it was a fantastic show. Maybe next time someone will listen to me and we will go in the afternoon, regardless if we are late. Ha ha ha. I do love my husband immensly, it was just one of those weekends when nothing was working. And on top of it this is how behind I am with the house chores......

......that's a TRUCK load of laundry that needs to be folded and put away....better get to it I guess, cause it's not going to fold itself. And, hey, at least I FINALLY finished the 4 loads of dishes! One big accomplishment down, a few more to go. So I am going to tackle that laundry with full blast music and dancing hips. ;)

A little bit o F.Y.I.

Just a little blog on what is going on in the Dill house hold...

as you know Nathan and I have been married four wonderful years. The last year has been hard but so worth the sacrifice.  For those of you who do not know, Nathan has been going to school for almost 13 months to be an Aronautic Maintainance Technician (AMT or Air plane mechanic). He has a little over 5 months to go. What has been so hard, is he works nights; Sunday night to Saturday morning (8pm-7am), then he goes to school; Monday through Friday (8am-2pm). Which, gives him roughly 5 hours of sleep a day. Regardless ...we don't see him much (20 min. a day at the most except Sunday at church, which I only see him during Sacrament meeting because they just put me in the Nursery). So, yes it's been hard. But, like I said, so worth it!!! With his new career, most starting positions start at $25hr. Which is more than he makes now.........
So, there might be some changes in housing in the near future! Nathan has been a real trooper through this aweful schedule. And regardless of how exhausted he is, he still finds time to be with his children and have conversations with me. He loves his family and is very patient with us (especially on days when the house is a wreck and the kids are unusually loud). I love my Nathan bacon (he hates when I call him that he says it doesn't rhyme lol) with all my heart. He is my best friend and the best father our kids could ask for. He makes me laugh constantly and loves me even when we annoy eachother......
    Now on to Matthew. He is a really good toddler who does what I ask 90% of the time. He does not test me much, of which I am extremely thankful for. He is definitely a joy in our household. He LOVES trains, plains, and Toy Story. He also LOVES to sing and sometimes wakes up singing. :) He is turning 3, May 1st. My how time flies. He loves his Daddy and Mommy and Sister. He constantly looks out for her and loves to share with her (unless she tries to play with his trains, that's when the fights break out, LOL)....

Speaking of his sister, Kylie is growing up sooo fast. She is talking a lot for her age. She LOVES shoes and pretty much anything girly. But she doesn't mind getting dirty either. :) She LOVES LOVE LOVES her Daddy and has him wrapped around her little finger. She is also very stubborn and is the one who likes to test me, but overall she is very sweet and loves to cuddle. She absolutely loves her big brother and loves her "Mimi" (that's what she calls me). She also LOVES slides and running and CLIMBING. She climbs on everything. She is also a big joy in our family. I just love both my kids little personalities.

As for me, I am taking a little break on having children and concentration on the munchkins I have now. I am also focusing on my artistic talents and learning more about sewing. I am still working on illustrations for the childrens book my aunt and uncle wrote. And, that's about all I can think about. Hope you enjoyed my little schpeal. :)
